And by the way, royal says they can't enter the room to look into it until the ship docks next week.

But how hard would it be to call the ship and ask the hotel director to ask the room stewards what the room looks like???!!!!

Good information biker- thanks for looking into that.

Iron maiden - thanks for caring[emoji3]

The room was actually booked using the Anthem deckplans/ which has 10173 shown and color coded as a L large interior.

I'm willing to bet that all Ls that connect to Ks on Anthem are small interiors and not the large ones that royal says they are.

Thanks caravan. Enjoy your trip!

Once myself and TA convinced them (and by them I mean the people in resolutions who too are working off the wrong deck plan) that they need to look into this they agreed to call the ship and have management go into the room.

But anthem just left on a 12 night cruise in the Mediterranean. So according to RCI they have to wait til ship comes back to Southampton to enter stateroom. I just want to know they will acknowledge and deal with it - it's partially the principle of the matter that is upsetting. It's not easy to convince a big company that they have made a mistake.

Once again, I feel understood by you turtles06. Biker19- there is a several hundred dollar difference per person between an M and an L. Could be talking about close to 1,000 difference here. If you book one thing (a year and a half in advance before a ship is built) you must be able to rely on a deckplan. There is nothing else to go on. If you booked and then arrive in your stateroom tans discovered you did not have the cabin you thought you had - you would be upset too

On another site that discusses cruises. So please don't tell me to do my homework because that is very condescending.

Thank you tura lura. Conandrob-I'm going to spell this out for you. Go to the deck plan on the royal Caribbean website - look at room 10173. It is pink in color. That is a category L. That is what all the travel agents are booking off of. Do you not remember what turtles06 explained to you?

It was mislabeled by royal. It is actually an M cabin. How do I know this? It has been reported

Not being hostile just getting frustrated because it doesn't seem people are reading my original post.

I stated right off the the bat that I know of someone (I am in contact with them) who had this experience in this cabin on anthem already.

My post was to see if any one else out there has been in this cabin.

Have you seen the pictures or videos of a K or L vs an M? Probably not or you wouldn't be questioning this. There's a marked difference in layout.

Also if it was your money on line you might feel differently

Thank you for understanding me turtles06[emoji2]

I didn't come on here to debate this - just to see if anyone had already been in this cabin

No not a guarantee. All travel agents and every single deck plan out there calls 10173 a large interior L at 178 square feet. The plans came out before the ship was built.

It is apparently not an L but a regular size virtual balcony.

We paid for a large category L.

Oops, meant to say categories L and K are large

Not the balcony the room. Categories L and M are large interior with virtual balcony and m, n and q are small - 166 square feet vs. 178

My family and I booked this room for nov. 22 week. It's billed as an L category and that's what we paid for.

Apparently it's not, it's 166 square feet and not 178 square feet.

I already know of one person who got stuck in this room and is awaiting a refund.

Anyone else sail in this room and can confirm its a small virtual balcony and not a large?

I booked cabins

Really enjoying your review

Hi anthem cruisers- is everybody taking their own pictures and uploading at home or are some of you just not doing it and waiting to get to the check-in?

Just curious what people's thoughts are on this and what they did or will do. We are sailing Nov, 22 from Bayonne. So excited[emoji2]

thanks!

Bonine!!!!

Just wanted to say I'm so very sorry for what you are going through and am hoping your dad pulls through this ok. Glad to hear the emergency staff was

wonderful during an awful time.

All 3 open for 11/22 sailing

Booked thru Costco and got notification from them 2 days ago about the change to our nov. 22 anthem cruise

All these posts have been very helpful- 2 more questions please-

If you are traveling with people in another room, can you link your dining reservation with theirs?

What time do the evening shows typically start?

Thanking you again in advance[emoji1]

Thanks for the info on how to reserve - I wasn't aware of that!

How do you reserve the first few nights? On the phone or is there another way?

Thanks for the tip[emoji2]
